The same stories break in every trade publication, one by one. By Thursday, we’re still waiting for someone to interpret what this news means for a typical mid-sized company with a three-year commitment and no inclination toward risk.
That is the role industry commentary plays, and playing that role requires deep understanding of a particular industry to identify the winners and losers, and to determine who must redo their plans.
The test is whether a practitioner reads it and learns something they could act on. Simply restating the announcement or the safe paragraph about how the sector is evolving, fails the test. What passes the test is the second-order thinking point. It is the supplier that has pricing power, the compliance date that no one has budgeted for, and the workaround that fails.
Knowing last month’s events is key to understanding this month’s sector commentary. A model can only go so far in helping you. It has no way of explaining why it was confident about a merger that closed as opposed to a merger that failed. Trade reports instantly identify the failed merger.
We delegate briefs to writers who cover that sector, as sector-specific knowledge is not obtained overnight. They avoid reading the summary of the document and instead read the underlying document, and write the consequence dated, so a reader in six months will know what was known at that time.
The most likely format to benefit from a second pass is commentary, because your understanding of a story often deepens once you have written a review of that story. Two passes are available within a fourteen-day window. Significant redirection that constitutes a new argument is allowed for the first pass, and if an argument completely changes, we would prefer to rewrite than provide patchwork.
One rate, whatever the format: $10 per 100 words. You are paying for the writer’s time and judgement, so the price scales with the words rather than with a package tier.
| Typical industry commentary | Words | Writing | Fee (1%) | You pay |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Short comment | 500 | $50 | $0.50 | $50.50 |
| Standard commentary | 900 | $90 | $0.90 | $90.90 |
| Analysis piece | 1,500 | $150 | $1.50 | $151.50 |
The writer receives 100% of the writing price. Our 1% fee is added on top of it, and 0.5% is donated to tree planting. Full pricing breakdown.

It’s not very common, but we like to check anyway. We will turn on clients down rather than assign a generalist to write a paragraph that your readers would see right through. If none on the team provides marine insurance or aggregates haulage covers, we let you know.
Yes, a quick call is necessary to able give the writer counter-arguments to what they will likely be arguing. We also warn them about lines we suspect they would not want to defend if asked to speak on a panel.

Our interviewed subject speaks with a style that is easy to modify into uninspired corporate-speak. The transcriber has authentic cadence, and does not rely on filler. The natural speech of a person is easier to understand. We have filled three more bookings.
The reported elements and the interviewed elements were both well communicated. The middle third went a bit offtop, so I reorganized it instead of waiting for a revision. We were on a deadline tonight to close the issue. With another day I would have sent it back to you. Great writer, short deadline, my choice.
Thought leadership is typically an overview of what is already commonplace. This essay takes a stance in favor of warehouse automation, and even has a paragraph in addressing the automation argument. Given this pushback in the comments, that is actually the goal.
